BAUCHI, Nigeria (Reuters) - A suicide bomber killed six people at a church on Sunday in Potiskum, a town in northeast Nigeria hit by suspected Boko Haram attacks in the past, a Red Cross official and a witness said.

"People were just going to the church when the bomber entered, otherwise the casualty figure would have been higher," said Red Cross official Hassan Alhaji Muhammad, who visited the scene of the blast on the outskirts of Potiskum.

A hospital in Potiskum said it had received the bodies.

Suspected Islamist militant gunmen and bombers killed more than 200 people last week in a spate of bloodletting that prompted renewed outrage and calls for an international meeting to coordinate the offensive against Boko Haram.

French President Francois Hollande said the Boko Haram threat was getting stronger and that he was ready to hold a summit, following one in Paris in May 2014, to gather the leaders of countries fighting the insurgents.

New Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari is due to visit his counterpart in Cameroon after the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and meets U.S. President Barack Obama on July 20, when the fight against Boko Haram is likely to be high on the agenda.

Potiskum is in Yobe state next to Borno, a remote state which is Boko Haram's stronghold in Nigeria and borders Cameroon, Chad and Niger.

Christians teach ur children in the way of God so dat wen they grow old, they wud never depart from it.
Fulani and other northerners teach ur children Jihad so dat wen they grow they become bokoharam
Trust me there must be always a govt to blame.

[size=13pt]We are winning the war says Buhari[/size]

Boko haram and Fulani herdsmen beating Christians whenever they like.
Why do we always turn the other cheek? Boko haram and the Fulanis don't understand that teachings, they only believe in an eye for an eye. We should also follow with reprisal attacks, we should attack boko haram/Fulanis also.

R.I.P ........ Over the years i have come to realise that religion expecially islam is the major problem facing the entire world, if not so how do you explain these senceless killings by blood sucking demons all in the name of one inexisting god with the vague and empty promises of been giving virgins as a compensation for the no of inocent christians blood shed or as they call it in their own terms 'infidels'. So pathetic, my condolense to the family of those who lost their love ones, may God give them streghnt and faith to keep believing in the true God of peace (Christ)

God take control...

RIP to the dead

Thanks for this post.

hmmmm

This is really sad and disturbing. So this is the change the new government promise us.

When Jonathan made spirited effort to crush BH, he was heavily criticise by the opposition. They call him CLUELESS ( meaning someone who doesnt have any clue to end insurgency). They even boasted to crush boko haram in 2 months of their administration. Now the situation has excalated and we can now see how CLUEFUL Buhari is.

This is what you get when people politicise insurgency and later discover that they have nothing to offer. Wherever GEJ is now, he wil be wondering how most Nigerians can easily be deceive

Ok this is bad

Buhari is a blood sucker and a Terrorist,

hard time i tell u. buhari n our gallant soldiers gat to stand up to d task
